It's probably spelled 'Belvoir' - awfully posh!

Bloody shame, what kind of a life is that child going to be subjected to...Hopefully she'll be called Bee!

I wouldn't mind if it weren't for the smutty connotations of the word.

I know a boy called Otter and it really suits him.

MInd you, talking of smutty, I had to explain to my sister why it might not be a good idea to call her baby Sanchez.

I was hoping that I had misheard and that it was Biba.

I thought it was a boy called beaver. Me and DH just looked at each other and laughed. Hope he doesnt grow up to be really hairy.

Who is still watching this smug pile of steaming dung?

I mean, Beaver, Peregrine, Merlin.

You know, and they're not even smoking crack.

They are using fictious names. I come from the area - and they don't have MARSHLAND behind their property. IT'S A DISUSED QUARRY THAT THEY EXCAVATED GRAVEL FROM!

I agree with you expat it is "a smug pile of steaming dung"

Take back what I said about fictious names, my source was wrong. But I still think expat summed it up well!

The downstairs was okay, then it all went terribly wrong upstairs (and Kev knew it).

I thought Biba and thought it was a boy at first.

I can't stand this bath in the bedroom nonsense. Yes, the stove looked ridiculous.
